"Irritable! That is how I regularly feel!" And on checking with my other half, she concluded. Peculiar as it'd appear we both realized something wasn't right, separately, on the same day, after 18 months of struggle.
Due to the realisation that the consuming anger that would rise up without warning was actually a sign that I was reaching my end - I was depressed. What a revelation that was; to grasp there was a way out, but that that way out meant admitting my weakness. And then an irony appeared; the moment I admitted my desire for help, in that moment - that actual moment - hope drew near.
Irritability is a tell-tale sign of depression, particularly in males.
Something would go 'wrong ' and I'd flip into a rage, even if I was alone or nobody else noticed; inside me I was beside myself with fury. And at the very same time part of me was asking, in a desperate state of puzzlement, "What's going on here, Steve?!"
Such fits of outrage were knackering, and though happily there was generally no observable harm created, there had been much spiritual torment that wanted to be reconciled. I was out of control and failed to know how to revive that control.
But the word irritation - or testy - got me wondering. It struck me in a moment of openness of heart and mind. God used that word to bare his truth. My irritation with the sign I was depressed. I had fought the best I could, in my own strength, for 18 months. Now was the time to actually admit my weakness and seek help.
WHY ANGER IS OFTEN THE SIGN OF DEPRESSION
Why would we get unfairly indignant otherwise, unless our inner world was in flux?
Sometimes annoyance is all we have left to rail against a world we will neither understand nor work with. That world, for whatever reason or reasons, has given us cause to feel confounded in some shape. All we have left is fury. And self-righteousness is the driver, because justice hasn't been served - according to the depressed perspective.
Outrage unearths sadness for the problems of disregard in our lives we haven't any control of. And it doesn't take a great deal to feel out of control.
When we admit our sadness nonetheless , as we have realised the role anger is playing, the path to recovery opens up - regardless of the despair within our circumstance. When there is a requirement, get professional help to help you, before it is affecting your life and make you ned up in debt for cultivating bad habits!

Uncharacteristic bad temper could be a sign of the unhappiness of depression. Occasionally all we have left is anger; but upon realizing our requirement for help, to admit that, opens a path to recovery. If we are honest about wrath we could very well see the sadness beneath. Such unhappiness is an invite to be explored, to be certified, and to be wrestled with. As soon as we do these things the door to wish swings ajar and then totally open.
